So we do timing, and it works well for us, even for poops. He knows that I'll offer pretty regularly, so he'll hold it until poop time and then push it out.

I've also been doing a little bit of signing with him... not the hundreds of signs that some mamas do, but I've been doing "toilet" and "all done". So for "toilet," he'll just take one open hand and shake it from side to side. And for "all done" he'll take two open hands and shake them from side to side, lol.

Anyway, last night I had him sitting on the BBLP, and he was pooping. He had done some, and I kept asking him if he was all done or needed to potty more (using the signs). And he kept indicating potty, and wasn't trying to crawl away or anything, so I let him sit there. He kept doing soft little grunts.

Then after a couple of times of me asking if he was done yet (and him still answering "potty"), he let loose a huge toot which echoed into the BBLP. Then he smiled real big, lol. After that, I asked him the question again, and this time he said "all done" lol.
